The Saints - (I'm) Stranded

[sonictrasher]

This song is 100% perfect. A true classic.

[rhart49]

So being a punk band means you're the "hives before the hives." I guess the Hives can't be a punk band. :P

[vanian]

@rhart49

no the hives are just a shit band

[ScarletUtopia]

i never knew there was a video to that tune. i love it since the 70s heyday. so thank you very much for posting it. you made my day:-) what a Single!

they never reached that level again, but wtf? most bands would kill to be able to write a song like that!

[jaksbak52]

errrr.. i was there.. produced the film clip.. Russell Mulcahy directed.. derelict row house in Petrie Terrace.. and a nightclub location in Fortitude Valley.. a wild shoot completed with a post shoot party rooftop pool at some forgotten Brisbane hotel.. band had class writ large.. fun time..

[boongaable]

classic Aussie punk wish these bands would play punk like it should be played not like these new bands that call themself punk just because of what they wear. Punk is about attitude not clothing but youngens don't know that

[fffffcccckkkk]

@boongaable and when they figure it out, it's too late.

[dariowestern]

@boongaable totally agreed with you! Clothing is over-rated.

helenkrump,,,Aussie music has real staying power...we have far more bands in our vault too..(i know i didnt mean to offend and you didnt)...but how the hell did these Aussie kids come up with this??...easy!..we rock!

[DMSProduktions]

@skahot It WASNT the Ramones thats for sure! The Saints got there b4 them!

[helenkrump]

How in the hell these Aussie kids came up with this little gem in 1977 I'll never know, but I was in LA at the time and Rodney played the single constantly--I loved it!

[Wehategod]

The most Underrated Punk Band of the Day  Seriously these guys are Just the Greatest Aussie Punk band. THe Last Words though Had a great anthem with Animal World. radio Bird Man was just pure energy and Of Course THe Boys Next Door were great Too.

[goonsquid]

Funny how so many bands that appeared in the mid-late 70s punk explosion went on to forge successful careers in other areas. The Saints would become a very well respected RnB outfit in the mid-80's.

[centerrightpunk]

single 1976, album 1977!

[PaulFromOzz]

formed 74

[punkorama94]

is it just me or does this seem like the hives before the hives?

[ryanstamen]

It's clearly not just you, Buddy!

[onulf]

@punkorama94 there are countless bands that could be deemed the Hives before the Hives.

[ceira7]

overwhelming Stooges influence, I think- bits of it sound like I wanna be your Dog.

[dzonirege]

Man, I loved this song 10 and more years ago!

[dadswizz]

probably the best thing out of Australia. i had this single with black n white cover. i thought at the time they would become more popular. . than they did.

[sidtexas]

Yeah? What about them?

[sidtexas]

Australia has given the world 3 reasons to keep on turning:

The Saints,Rose Tattoo and AC/DC(pre 1980)

[iggyks]

what about the Easybeats?

[radiomareas]

GREAT,its song for gong

[kidsgrove4]

joey ramone saw them in a pub in london and said they were the best punk band in the UK. Thats a bit of a rip. Baills is a legend of Australian music. Real boys this lot !

[Flawborough]

BEST EXPORT AUSTRAILIA EVER SENT US!

[GarageZan]

Lime Spiders were mate!

[cytuber]

After Kylie.

[AladdinInsanity98]

hairstyle wise...

[AladdinInsanity98]

they look like anything but a punk rock band.

[PaulFromOzz]

How can they look like one, They invented punk, Punk should look like them.

[AladdinInsanity98]

well i did say hairstyle wise.

but all in all, i'd have to disagree.

[PaulFromOzz]

Punk was suppose to be Anti-Image though.

[wozza2341]

Excellent comment Paul.

[hellcajon]

This video rules... truly a classic track too!

[muck47]

utterly incredible, amazing, superlative!

[mrblifil]

Chris Bailey once bought me a drink at a very posh bar on the Brooklyn waterfront. He's a classy guy. Love him and love Ed.

[neo101au]
